Customer Reviews

Dissapointing
I travel extensively internationally (around 30 weeks a year) so I was looking for a universal adapter that I could stick in my bag instead of having to remember to bring the right adapter for each business trip.

I tried this adapter out and found it was lacking.

Pros:
1. It does work in most outlets worldwide. The one exception is some UK safety sockets...more later
2. It is not too terribly large
3. The trendy white color :-)

Cons:
1. It will stop working frequently when using the europlug. In order to make electrical contact the europlug must be flipped all the way up. Unfortunately it is on a hinge with very little resistance so any weight on it (like a cable plugged into it) causes the plug adapter itself to rotate on this hinge causing the plug to lose contact. You only have to wake up to a dead cell phone once before figuring this out.
2. It does not work in UK safety sockets. Some of the safety sockets in the UK require the grounding pin to hit a switch that allows the rest of the plug to go in. For some reason this plug does not always work in those.
3. It is bigger than it looks in the picture.

In summary, buy the Kensington model instead. I have 2 and they work great.

Used this product in Slovenia to charge my computer and other electronic devices. Worked great and had no problems. Never used it with a converter but it worked great as an adapter.
